From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"We never refused your help."

Alicia acted calm and patient in front of Shushen's envoy. She neither comforted the other party because of her aggrieved face, nor was she afraid of the feather in his hand that possessed the mighty power of the gods.

"It was you who made the mistake of our sailing direction." She looked into the eyes of the envoy, explained meticulously, and at the same time gave a stern lesson.

"Not only did you not help us, but you made us farther away from our destination."

At this moment, Nanna and Gregor, the queen navigator, who were standing on both sides of the cabin showed nervous expressions, and they seemed to be sweating for Elyse.

But none of them expected that at this moment Erich had already focused her attention on the feather that the messenger placed on the deck.

She knew that if the opponent wanted to cause damage, he had to hold a feather.

Then as long as Shushen envoy wants to get back that feather, Erich will immediately use specific operations such as opening and closing the door.

Maybe it's because Alicia's tone is majestic yet gentle, or maybe she has the temperament of a kindergarten teacher.

In short, Shu Shen envoy lowered his head at this moment, and all the grievances and nonsense from earlier were dissipated for a while.

"If I fan the other way... can I have some more candied walnuts?"

God Shu lowered his head, facing each other with his hands, unconsciously circling his fingers, while secretly looking up at Elyse.

Alicia finally let out a sigh of relief.She turned her head with a smile, picked up the blue feather, put it in the palm of the envoy's hand, nodded seriously and said, "Yes! We've made a deal."

The moment she touched the blue feather, Erich's body shook slightly.

Her fingertips quickly sensed the divine power of this special item—the feather of wind, which can resist the wind direction in nature and create strong wind out of thin air.

But this special item is not available to Erich.

It has a limitation, only the favored ones of the Nine Pillars God can use the wind feather, even if the favored ones of other gods come into contact with it, they cannot drive it spiritually.

The Nine Pillars are the nine gods worshiped at Heliopolis.Ra, the god of the sun, Osiris, the god of the underworld, Isis, the goddess of love and protection, and Horus, the patron saint of the pharaohs, are all among them.

The newly-rising god Amun was not among them.

This also means that even if Shushen Divine Envoy gave this Wind Feather to Erich, she would not be able to use it.

Alixi couldn't help curling her lips—but she didn't plan to grab the other party's wool.She just didn't want the old man's childish naughtiness and willfulness to cause damage.

Shu Shen made Alicia's promise, and immediately raised his face and smiled at Alicia.

Although his face was wrinkled and his smile looked like a wrinkled bun, his smile was so cheerful and sincere that Erich and the people around her felt that what appeared in front of them was an innocent child.

Unexpectedly, Ai Lixi added another sentence: "If you send us to complete a day's journey, you can eat a small handful of honey-soaked walnuts, and there are two small handfuls in two days. If you can send us Thebes, the whole pot will be full of sweets." your."

Nanna and Gregor, who were listening on the sidelines, were stunned—no one expected that Elyse could bargain so much with a big man at the level of an angel who could summon strong winds.

"Thebes has more than 20 days of waterways. This whole pot doesn't seem to be enough. You'd better prepare another half pot for me." Shu Shen envoy immediately asked.

Alicia nodded seriously: "It's a deal."

Her royal ship had enough materials, and a cook.These candied peach kernels are ready to be prepared now.

Shushen Divine Envoy stood up, stretched out his hand to pat his chest, and said proudly: "Look at me—"

With a kick of his feet, he leaped into the air, and at the end, he looked down at Gregor, shouted to the navigator, and then confirmed: "Is this the direction?"

He pointed up the great river.

After Gregor nodded to confirm, the feather in Shu Shen's hand fluttered in the wind, becoming one person tall again.

Nanna also reminded Gregor: "What are your sailors waiting for?"

Gregor suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked people to raise the sails again.For a time, the big river was full of bulging sails.

In an instant, all the boats slowed down and gradually stopped.It didn't take long to start sailing upstream, surrounded by the huge king ship, and slowly sailed upstream.

Kong Si, whose eyes were red and on guard for a while, gradually returned to normal at this moment. He sat back on the side of the king's boat and continued to stretch out his hands to play in the water.

When Ailixi was negotiating with Shushen, the always bustling Memphis pier was also crowded with onlookers.

The people watched the fleet belonging to the royal family quickly marching downward under the influence of the wind feathers, exclaimed in unison, and turned their eyes to the right of the pier together.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long, the wind direction changed, and the sails on the king's boat were fully bulged, but they quickly sailed upstream.

People continued to marvel, turning their eyes to the left of the pier.

However, the Memphis civilians who were on the sidelines were not too surprised by the appearance of Shushen's envoy. It should be because this envoy also haunted the Memphis pier before.

On the pier, a group of foreign businessmen who had just arrived were jumping onto the trestle along the springboard from the deck.

Most of them used hoods to cover their hair and most of their faces, and along with the locals, they looked at the spectacle in front of them in shock.

"This is... Enlil's feather?"

Someone suddenly said this sentence, and his companion immediately held his mouth down.

"Will you die if someone overhears you?"

Enlil was the wind god of the Hittites.

Their leader decisively gave his subordinates a warning wink, making them all shut up instantly.

But the leader himself saw the image of the royal ship and the flag symbolizing the first princess, and immediately stomped his feet and sighed, "It's a pity, we came a step late."

"I should have expected her to leave."

This tall young man wrapped himself in a linen robe from head to toe, his brown eyes flickered, and he seemed quite regretful.

"Pharaoh was about to return, but she didn't want to see him at all, and she didn't want to tell him anything, so she just left the capital."

Although the young man was remorseful, he still stretched out his palm and slapped the wooden railing next to the pier heavily, and sighed appreciatively: "It really is simple! If you don't want her man, she won't want it either."

When his subordinates heard this, they finally realized that it was the First Princess of Egypt who made their leader sigh.I was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"Dian Dian Dian..."

A subordinate waited for a long time, finally remembered to get up in the capital of the enemy country, and quickly swallowed a word.

This His Highness was still thinking to himself: "Looking at the direction she is going, she is really bold. I heard that the Noms in Upper Egypt are doing their own thing and disobeying the Pharaoh, and she is just the Pharaoh's concubine..."

The subordinates around him thought they had figured out what His Highness was thinking, and quickly asked: "Since the first princess of Egypt has gone to Egypt, shall we follow immediately?"

The young man returned with a slap, and lightly patted his subordinate on the forehead.

"Who do you think I am? As stupid as an Egyptian pharaoh?"

"Since she's gone, she must have done everything she needs to do in Memphis."

The young man reached out and lifted the hood on his head, as if he wanted to see the distant shadow of the boat more clearly.

"We have to take a good look at her achievements in Memphis; see what surprises she has prepared for the Pharaoh; and collect more information about this royal capital—"

When the young man said this, he immediately turned around and pointed to the city of Memphis in the distance.There, the palace of the Egyptian pharaoh jutted out on the horizon with the spiers of the Great Hall.

"Take all the doors and go to Memphis at once, into town."

Kalsha, the Hittite prince who came to the capital of Lower Egypt in disguise, ordered his subordinates to enter the city immediately.

Pharaoh Delos and General Solan arrived in Memphis only two days later than Karsha.

They are already light and easy, and the horses are rotated along the way, day and night, rushing back to Memphis from Giza.

When they arrived in Memphis, the gates of the royal capital were wide open, and the high priest Dahor put out all the guards of honor to welcome the king.The great priest himself greeted him respectfully in the middle of the road into the city.

Delos didn't expect that his whereabouts had already been predicted, and his face was gloomy for a while, not knowing what to say.

But Dahool stepped forward, grabbed Solan by the ear, dragged his son off the horse, slapped his son on the face, and said angrily, "I made you disrespect your majesty! I made you disrespect your majesty... "

But in fact, what Solan did was not just disrespect and disrespect?

Delos thought to himself: Avoid the serious and take the light, this trick is indeed played very smoothly by the great priest.

The soldiers under Solan's command turned their faces away, unable to bear to see the general being beaten in public.

Under his father's coercion, Solan wailed, making a sound similar to howling ghosts and wolves.And every time the great priest slaps, he steals his eyes to look at Tylos, slaps, and takes a look.

In desperation, Delos could only speak to the great priest: "Forget it—"

Dahor immediately withdrew his hands, and looked at Delos with a flattering smile as before, as if to say: Since you have forgiven him, the past must have been written off.

Delos' face became more and more gloomy.

He knew in his heart that the great priest Dahor probably knew all about the battle between himself and Solan, and he made a complete arrangement in the city of Memphis.

Although Solan lost a complete defeat under the pyramid, he still couldn't move him for the sake of the frontier army Delos.Now Soran has the help of a great priest...

Who can spread the news so fast?

The only thing Delos could think of was the Angel of Anubis.

But that envoy has always served the gods and did not get involved in the common affairs of the kingdom.

Then, there is only one possibility left——

Delos remembered the phantom figure he had seen in the chess room at the height of the pyramid.

Could it be... really that woman.

The pharaoh simply stopped mentioning Solan's rebellion, and asked directly: "Great priest, where is Elyse? But in the palace?"

The great priest Dahor immediately let go of Solan's ears, lay down on the ground respectfully, and replied with great joy: "My supreme king, your concern for the first princess is really touching..."

Delos: ... Bah!

Wang Cai didn't care.

Moreover, he only called Alicia by her first name, but Dahoor had to add the title of First Princess.

Delos thought coldly in his heart: return to the palace to see her later.If she dared to make irresponsible remarks about the king's trip, then the king would immediately deprive her of the title of first princess, and when she gave birth to a prince, she would immediately hand over the child to the future first princess to be raised.

In Delos' heart, although Miss Viola cannot contact anyone for a year because of the curse, she is already the only candidate for the future first princess——

As soon as Delos escaped from Solan's hands, he had already sent people to Tanis to bring Biola back.

Unexpectedly, Dahool went on to say in a long-winded manner: "His Royal Highness the First Princess has left Memphis two days ago."

This sentence made Pharaoh jump up from his horse in shock, jumped off directly, and strode in front of Dahor.

He seemed to be able to see the scene of Alicia smiling back and seeing her leave firmly, unable to keep her anymore.

The great priest immediately pulled his son to kneel down in front of the Pharaoh.

"In order to pray for the heir of Pharaoh, the first princess decided to go to Thebes in Upper Egypt in person, and pray to the gods in the temple there—"

For a moment, Delos felt that his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak a word.

This woman...had to find such a grandiose reason for escaping?

"She's crazy—"

Delos clenched his fists tightly, and a vein popped out on his forehead.

Not to mention that there are many nomes in Upper Egypt that are not under the control of the pharaoh, the waterway upstream from Memphis alone is not so peaceful.

Pharaoh couldn't bear it any longer, and almost screamed in his heart: Erich, what exactly do you want?

Are you really not threatening the king with your own life and the flesh and blood in your belly, asking the king to compromise and submit to you?

But at this moment, Pharaoh was in front of the entire Memphis, in front of the officials and people of the royal capital.

After all, he controlled himself, and ordered in a cold voice: "She has only been away for two days, so hurry up and order someone to chase her back!"

Dahool knelt on the ground, and replied in an extremely helpless tone: "If you go back to the king, the princess has already gone far, and I can't catch up with you—"

"how come?"

Delos suddenly raised his breath and shouted violently, his temper could no longer be restrained.

He pointed to the sky with his hand: "The past few days have been calm and windless. Going upstream to Thebes, you either need to pull the rope or sailors to row the oars. The princess's boat can't go too far at all."

"Great priest, are you perfunctory and refusing to carry out the king's order?"

The great priest Dahool had already put on his best panic expression, shaking his hands together, and explained repeatedly: "Your Majesty, although there has been no wind these days, the First Princess has invited the Shushen envoy to raise the sail for her on the big river. .The boat is moving on the river, it is simply faster than a galloping horse... I wait, even if I want to chase, I can't catch up—"

Dahor frowned, while Delos remained completely where he was.

She actually invited Shushen's envoy to see her off?

Delos himself had never been treated this way.

First, Senmut, the priest of the God of Tut, has never returned to the capital since sending her to Saqqara;

Now it is the envoy of God Shu again, and Delos suspects that the envoy of Anubis is also on good terms with Elyse.

What kind of power does she have?

Pharaoh couldn't help asking himself.

A suppressed laugh suddenly came from his ear.

Delos cast an angry glance, and he didn't even realize that his eyes were completely red with anger during the conversation with the high priest.

The one who laughed was Solan.

After his father grabbed his ears and slapped his face in public, the general lay down on the ground, spread his limbs regardless of his image, and looked at the sky, as if he only saw the wind and clouds from the sky.

Hearing the conversation between the two of them at this moment, the general held his stomach and laughed out loud.

As long as it can make Tyros angry, Soran will be happy no matter what it is - as for who the person who made Pharaoh angry is, the mad general doesn't care much.

Seeing Solan like this, the great priest Dahor was embarrassed and angry, he couldn't help stretching out his foot, and kicked his son as a warning.

Unexpectedly, with a kick, Solan burst into laughter, loud and joyful, which attracted all eyes, making everyone notice the pharaoh's pain and the great priest's anger.

Not only does it annoy Delos, if it can make the father of the great priest feel angry, Solan will be equally happy, very happy——

With the help of Shushen's envoy, Ailixi's fleet of royal ships traveled the waterway that would have taken three days to complete in one day.

Ai Lixi kept her promise and gave Shushen envoy three small handfuls of walnuts marinated in honey.

All kinds of exquisite food were stored on the king's ship, and Erich ordered people to open up and supply everything to the God of Shu.

Only the big pot of walnut kernels she ordered Urania to lock up, so that God Shu could not get it easily.

The easier it is to obtain other items, the more rare this item appears.

Sure enough, Shu Shen, who was mature on the outside and childish on the inside, showed an itchy look.

But he could only obediently obey Urania's arrangement, live in his own tent after the ship anchored, and sleep peacefully.

After traveling like this for two days, the boat was already close to the border between Upper and Lower Egypt.

Standing on the king's ship, Alicia noticed that the landforms on both sides of the strait and the vicinity of Memphis have undergone significant changes.

Memphis is located at the southern end of the delta of the lower reaches of the great river, surrounded by plains alluvial by the great river, and flat plains everywhere.

But the closer the ship got to Upper Egypt, the mountains began to appear in the distance along the river bank.The red earth-colored ridge is located far away on the western horizon, like the back of a long snake, extending infinitely to the north and south ends.

According to the legend of the Egyptians, the east is the land where the sun rises, and the west belongs to the west after sunset.So the road to the eternal world after death must lead to the West.

Therefore, many important tombs in Egyptian history are located on the west side of the river.

As the sun sank to the west, Gregor, the Queen's navigator, found a place suitable for mooring the boat to the shore, and first released two or three small boats, and set up a springboard between the small boats.

Then the first princess Ailixi was invited to the shore through the springboard.The royal fleet camped ashore.

"The closer you get to Upper Egypt, the more turbulent the river is. There are unidentified creatures appearing underwater. It's fine during the day, but it's best to stay on the shore at night." Gregor explained to Erich.

Erich has always respected professionals, and immediately handed everything over to Gregor, and stayed at night in a tent set up on the shore.

A bonfire was lit around her tent, and the royal guards, holding pine torches, followed Nanna and patrolled the tent.

With such tight protection, Alicia: What's there to worry about?

She fell asleep with ease and peace of mind.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Alixi suddenly woke up, knowing that it was Asut's premonition that woke her up.

She noticed that a ball of water vapor was silently condensed on the thick tent made of linen.

This group of water vapor became more and more dense, and gathered in the tent little by little.

Right in front of Alicia's eyes, the cloud of water vapor condensed more and more, and became thicker and thicker, and finally condensed into a human form, separated from the tent, and walked directly towards Alixi.
